Dear Readers,
I began working on Angels Carry the Sun when I was a teenager. Now, smack dab in the vortex of a midlife crisis, I'm getting it published! The book began with a few words written in my journal and grew slowly over time, sometimes like cream cheese in the back of the fridge, sometimes like an experiment with crystals. I loved it very early in gestation and lugged those nascent drafts around with me from apartment-to-cottage-to basement--wherever I lived--in their lovely, ill-formed, variously scribbled and/or typed states...I would not be parted from it. Wherever I lived, wherever I went, my book and sixty-plus journals went with me!
...For some terrifying close calls with literary obliteration, continue story on the "Not-so-Fresh Blog" page...
You could scroll down below this border but it would really be quite pointless. It's like Alice-down-the-rabbit-hole down there. A million Phoebe's. Nothing else.

If this hit counter shows a low number it may suggest to you that no one ever visits my sight. I can assure you that this is not the case. I just added this feature today. Yep. Uh huh.
